Not everything it offers appeals to everyone, but it's pretty enticing.

It pretty hard to find properties on MLS that are going to be appealing from #s standpoint. 

This is maybe the least appealing to me, but it least it gets me in the game ... and I love action and movement and making things happen.So, what should I do? 

I'm not sure about Indiana, but in Illinois the LLC filing fee was reduced last year making it as a much more appealing option.

I've been a hobbyist photographer for around 11 years or so, and I'm looking to get into Real Estate Photography.

In most cases, there will be areas of the house that aren't photographed at all, which can still be valuable because you can infer things that may uncover more risk.

While it's nice to show the bonus depreciation if you can't take it for years, it loses some of the appeal and value, especially if you decide to sell. 

The loser can appeal.

I also need EXACTLY this... a lockbox (not a lock installed on a door) so this is really appealing to me! 

This isn't to say that you can do lesser quality work--especially when it comes to your mechanicals--but you won't have the pressure to make a sale at the completion of a rental, because it will be appealing to someone looking for somewhere to live for a year or 2 as opposed to having to meet the tastes of someone looking to put their roots down for 30 years or more.In that time, you can learn about drywall, plumbing, electrical, and how much material costs overall, while not having a super pressurized "out" date, or being worried about when to list.Starting with a nice, boring, 3 bed 1 bath rental is my advice for newbies, as you'll learn about what it will take to flip, without having the pressure of a flip over your head, or having your money tied up in.Also, investing by being a lender with someone more experienced than you may give you a good insight without having any pressure at all, and only observing the process while awaiting a check with a return at the end.
